Bowling Named New Men’s Golf Coach at MSUB

BILLINGS, Mont. – Dr. Gary Gray, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, announced Tuesday that Sean Bowling has been hired as the Montana State Billings’ head men’s golf coach.  Bowling, a former student at MSU Billings, replaces Jesse Valdez.

“We are excited to have Sean accept our invitation to be our next head men’s golf coach at MSU Billings,” said Gray.  “His experiences as Assistant Golf Professional at the Briarwood will suit him well.  It is great to welcome him back to MSUB as head coach.”

Bowling, a native of Billings, Mont., has been the Assistant Golf Professional at the Briarwood Golf Club in Billings for the past five months, and is working toward his status as Head Pro.

“I am excited to be joining the MSUB family,” said Bowling.  “It is an honor and a privilege to work this group of players.  We have a lot of talent and I look forward to putting everything together so we can be competitive at tournaments and shine at the Conference Championships.
